Jenni McInnes of New Smyrna Beach picks up broken pieces of wood she finds on her beach walks every morning and turns them into wall hangings.

Adam Zukowski of Deltona collects scraps of aluminum wire and discarded exhaust pipes and reuses them in his life-size sculptures of the human figure.

All three artists are exhibiting their efforts in the Recycled Materials Art Show in the Volusia County Administration Center in DeLand through Nov. 21.

The show, organized by the county's Solid Waste Management Department, marks a national celebration of November as Recycling Awareness Month.

County recycling coordinator Margaret Hodge curated the show and set its guidelines.

''We asked artists to submit pieces they created from recovered items, which meant that at least 80 percent of each work had to use materials made by man or machines, bought by consumers and later discarded,'' Hodge said.

Seventeen artists, including 15 from Volusia County, responded to her call for entries by submitting as many as two or three pieces of work.

Hodge called in two leading museum directors in the county, Gary Libby of Daytona Beach's Museum of Arts and Sciences and Harry Messersmith of the DeLand Museum of Art, to judge the work and award prize ribbons.

Fox won a blue ribbon for her ''Venus de Recycle,'' a large figure with a plastic milk jug for a head, resting her feet on a bed of stacked soda cans.

David Waffle of Ponce Inlet was also a prize winner for the dachshund he sculpted out of rusted metal scraps. Another of his entries, called ''The Anti-Christ,'' used pieces of recapped tires and an old rubber glove he collected along the road.

Marie Shea of DeBary made a three-dimensional picture using objects she collected while biking around her home: doll parts, a golf ball, rope, a glass jar and a shoe holder.

Joan Osborne of Deltona made a miniature motorcycle out of metal scraps, earring parts, a small fork, a pen point and a car mirror.

Benton Ledbetter of New Smyrna Beach used copper plumbing pipe for his piece, ''Dolphin Angels'' and steel rods and metal plates he found in a scrap pile for another work he calls ''Kilter.''

''The artists in the exhibit turned what was originally discarded as junk into art,'' Hodge said. None of the materials used, however, could be described as garbage, although this term is often applied to the genre of junk art.

Hodge printed an exhibit flier that contains the materials used by each artist and asks visitors if they can recognize the original items.

Most can find the bicycle fender, railroad ties, nuts, bolts and screws in the metal sculptures by Dewey Bass or the packing material and hangers in Josie Koral's ''Goin' Fishin'.'' Both are DeLand artists.

''We have been spoiled by so much waste. These artists offer every one of us an alternative,'' Hodge said.

The exhibit is mounted in the main lobby of the County Administration Center, 123 W. Indiana Ave., DeLand. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The exhibit will remain open for the weekend of the Fall Festival of the Arts in downtown DeLand, Nov. 20 and 21. Admission is free.
